You heard that right. We
recently received Short Sale approval on a Wells
Fargo short sale in 29 days. 29 days! Pretty unreal.
This was a family that
checked the value of their home vs. what they owed on my Short or Stay
calculator. In conversation with the sellers they mentioned that they had
contacted a realtor about the Elk Grove Short Sale but after a day or so
the agent had not called them back. Talk about red flags. To make matters worse
when the agent did call them back, she told the sellers that she worked another
job and could only work the short sale after hours and weekends. If that wasn’t
bad enough, there was a sale date less than 3 weeks away.
I had some serious
conversation with the sellers and basically told them that even if they did not
use me for the Elk Grove Short Sale they should absolutely
use not only a Short Sale Specialist but a full time one at
that.
As it turns out they
interviewed me for the job. Not only were we able to get the foreclosure sale
date postponed at the 11th hour, we were able to get the short sale approved in
record time AND get the sellers $3000 in relocation assistance.
Guys, short sales are an
art form not to be dabbled in by the not so serious casual or part time
Realtor. When you decide to short sale your home, select a full time
Realtor with extensive short sale experience. This is not the time to let your
cousin’s sister’s boyfriend’s mechanic try their first short sale. Get with a Certified Default Advocate – there is just
too much riding on this to risk with an amateur.
Is a West Sacramento Short Sale Right for Me?
